Description of the invention (1) Background and field of the invention The present invention relates to an integrated circuit device, in particular to the use of a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) output transistor to prevent electrostatic breakdown Circuit semiconductor device. Zu Gu's description is well known as a low power consumption, high integration semiconductor device-complementary MOS integrated circuit (CMOS-IC), which is formed in the same semiconductor substrate 'P channel MOS transistor and N-channel MOS transistors, and the drains of the two MOS transistors have common wires, which can achieve the above-mentioned purposes of low power consumption and high accumulation. In MOS transistors, the side connected to the output line is called the drain, and the side connected to the power supply VPD or the ground line Vss is called the source, that is, the supply end of the carrier is called the source, and The output is called the drain, however, all variable source / drain of MOS transistors will be indicated. In recent years, with the demand for higher speed and higher integration, shallow impurity diffusion layers, and reduced-size devices, etc., in such CMOS integrated circuits, it has become a problem that the output transistor is destroyed by static electricity. Therefore, it is generally known that MOS uses the same conductivity type as the output transistor and is connected in parallel, in which the gate remains in the "closed" state, which constitutes an electrostatic breakdown protection circuit. Because only the output transistor can not ensure the anti-surge voltage, so the protection transistor is added, the surge is shunted to the output transistor and the protection transistor to ensure the ability of anti-static damage. However, the impedance of the PN junction of the semiconductor device is generally against the electrostatic surge in the reverse direction (hereinafter referred to as the electrostatic surge in the reverse direction) compared to the anti-shun square_ 4 This paper standard uses the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification ( 210X297 mm) 312848 A7 0599twf. Doc / Jessica / 002 __ B7_ 5. Description of the invention ()) The ability of the electrostatic surge (hereinafter referred to as the forward electrostatic surge) is still poor. Therefore, in the conventional technology, the additional protection of the transistor is also to ensure the ability to resist reverse electrostatic surges. Please refer to Figure 12 for an example, which details the characteristics of MOS transistors against electrostatic surge in the reverse direction. In the twelfth figure, a represents the ID-VD characteristic curve of the MOS transistor made by the process for high voltage use, and b represents the ID of the MOS transistor made by the process for general use -VD characteristic curve graph. This characteristic especially shows the vicinity of the breakdown voltage. It can be understood from Figure 12 that, regardless of whether it is used for general or high voltage, a reverse bias is applied at the pn junction formed between the drain of the MOS transistor and the substrate (or well), when When the reverse bias voltage exceeds a certain point of the breakdown voltage BVsd between the source and the drain, it causes a rapid avalanche phenomenon (avalanche phenoriaenon), so that the drain current begins to flow, and then, as the reverse bias voltage increases, it enters a negative Sexual resistance region (negative resistance region) in [this region when the drain voltage drops when the drain current increases], then enter the constant voltage region (constant voltage region), which shows that when the drain voltage changes slightly, the drain The current will change abruptly. Therefore, as can be understood from FIG. 12, in the MOS transistor, the voltage at which the reverse electrostatic surge current starts to flow is called the operation starting voltage (operation starting voltage), which becomes the breakdown voltage BVsd of the aforementioned source-drain region In addition, the occurrence of electrostatic collapse of MOS transistors is also due to the surge current joule heating (from the size of the paper to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) A7 0599twf.doc / Jessica / 002 5. Description of the invention (彡) caused by the polar current and the holding voltage], the greater the Joule heating, the more serious the static electricity collapse. The holding voltage is the drain voltages Vhb and Vha in the constant voltage region as shown in FIG. The holding voltage here is generally proportional to the above source-drain breakdown voltage BVsd. The MOS transistors manufactured for the process with high breakdown voltage in the source-drain region have a high holding voltage. In other words, MOS transistors have a higher starting voltage (the voltage at which the reverse surge current begins to flow), so the voltage collapse becomes easier. Therefore, as the above-mentioned conventional structure, only the combination of the output transistor and the protection transistor is different, and the rest are the same, so the two transistors have the same effect against electrostatic surge, that is, the output transistor and the protection transistor are against reverse The electrostatic surge has the same effect. If the reverse electrostatic surge does not exceed the source-drain breakdown voltage BVsd of the output transistor, the protection transistor will not start to operate. Because when the output transistor is operating, if there is a voltage collapse, it will cause the electrostatic collapse of the output transistor. . One of the ways to avoid the above problems is printed by the Central Consumer Council of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employees ’Cooperatives:“ Try to make the holding voltage of the output transistor and the protection transistor different. However, in order to achieve the above purpose, the manufacturing method must be changed. Therefore, the shortcomings of complex and tedious processes may arise. Using conventional technology in semiconductor devices, using the same structure of the output transistor as the output transistor to connect the output transistor in parallel, if the output transistor with shallow junction is against, or against high breakdown voltage, increase the protection circuit The occupied area of the crystal is inevitable, and the paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 312 Qing 0599twf, doc / Jessica / 002 A7 B7 Employee Consumer Cooperative Printed by the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economy— 5. Description of the invention (Y) The problem of increasing the price of chips. More specifically, as in the above-mentioned device, the protection product needs to be expanded as much as possible to the extent that the output transistor junction area is reduced, that is, if it is reduced due to shallow junction, another point, the protection transistor must be maintained The bonding area is large enough to resist the holding voltage of the process with high breakdown voltage. The present invention aims to provide a semiconductor element having a switch element that can be used as an electrostatic breakdown prevention circuit, which can resist when the reverse electrostatic surge voltage is lower than the output transistor source Pole collapse voltage to minimize the impact of the surge on the output transistor and prevent the voltage collapse of the output transistor. Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device with a voltage surge prevention circuit and an output transistor that are completed simultaneously without changing the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device, wherein the voltage collapse prevention circuit has a voltage collapse than conventional Prevent the circuit from having a large impedance to counter static surges. Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device that uses a MOS transistor or a two-carrier transistor as a protection transistor, thereby reducing the area occupied by the protection transistor and obtaining a protection transistor with a larger impedance To counter static surges. It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device which can be applied to various types of space conductor devices using MOS transistors as output transistors. Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device, which can be applied to two output transistors having a first conductivity type and a second conductivity type as the junction surface of the crystal ) f pack _ The size of the bound paper is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297mm) 0599twf.doc / Jessica / 002 A7 B7 V. The description of the invention (Xi) is connected in parallel, so it has a resistance increase. Protection transistor against breakdown voltage. According to the above object, the present invention provides a semiconductor device having a first conductivity type active MOS output transistor, one end of a source / drain region is connected to an output terminal of the semiconductor device, and has a protection output The design that the transistor is destroyed by static electricity collapse. The design of the static electricity collapse protection means that the second conductive semiconductor switching transistor is connected in parallel to the output transistor, and one end is connected to the output terminal. As described above, when an electrostatic surge on the output transistor occurs at the output terminal of the semiconductor device, when the electrostatic surge voltage is lower than the breakdown voltage of the output transistor, the second conductivity type semiconductor switching element will action. Therefore, the adverse effect on the output transistor due to the reverse electrostatic surge is less than the conventional one. At the same time, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Central Bureau of Standards, Employee and Consumer Cooperative printed the policy. At the same time, when manufacturing semiconductor devices, it can be seen from the circuit configuration that the second conductivity type semiconductor switching element can be formed at any position on the substrate according to the general process, Above, the manufacturing of the second conductivity type semiconductor switching element is included in the manufacturing process of semiconductor device formation. Therefore, the formation of the second conductivity type semiconductor switching element can be completed without any additional process. The above-mentioned advantages and objectives of the present invention will be more prominent after the detailed description of a preferred embodiment in accordance with the drawings .

Referring now to the drawings, which illustrate an embodiment of the present invention, in the next embodiment, it is assumed that the semiconductor is a P-type silicon substrate. 1. First embodiment. Figure 1 provides a description of the first embodiment, which includes a first conductivity type transistor 11 as an output transistor, and a second conductivity type transistor 13 as a protection transistor , Where the first conductivity type transistor 11 is PMOS, and the second conductivity type transistor 13 is NMOS. The drain lid of the first conductivity type transistor U is connected to the output pad 15 as the output terminal of the semiconductor device, and its source Us and N well are connected to the first power supply line VDD, and its gate lid is connected to a predetermined Signal line (not shown) to protect the first conductivity type transistor 11 from electrostatic surge. 1 At the same time, the second conductivity type transistor 13 is used as a switching device, its drain 13d is connected to the output pad 15, and its source 13s is connected to the first power supply line VDD, and the gate 13g is connected to the normal During operation, the second conductive type transistor 13 protects the off-state second power supply line Vss. The substrate is connected to the second power supply line vss. Therefore, the 'first conductivity type transistor 11 and the second conductivity type transistor 13 are disposed between the output pad 15 and the first power supply line Vdd, and are connected in parallel. The semiconductor device of the first embodiment enters the output pad 15 due to electrostatic surge. Please refer to Figure I3 for explanation. In Figure 13 '(; indicates the reverse direction, and d indicates the characteristic curve of the drain current to drain voltage (ID-VD) in the forward direction. 10 The paper scale uses the Chinese National Standard Rate (CNS) A4 specification (2 丨 0> < 2.97mm) 312848 0599twf. Doc / Jessica / 〇〇2 A7 ---- 87__ V. Description of the invention (g) This semiconductor device of the first embodiment is subject to protection The transistor is the first conductivity type transistor 11, when a negative electrostatic surge is applied to the output pad I5 ~ the first conductivity type transistor ^, the reverse direction electrostatic surge from VDD is visible. In the output pad 15 When a negative electrostatic surge is applied, the operating starting voltage of the first conductivity type transistor 11 is equivalent to the source-drain potential breakdown voltage shown in Figure U (hereinafter referred to as BVsd). Therefore, if not provided The second conductivity type transistor 13, that is, the NMOS transistor 'is used as a protection transistor. When the electrostatic surge exceeds a certain voltage of BVsd, a surge current will be generated from the first conductivity type transistor Η The drain 11 d flows to the source 11 s. Due to the electrostatic surge, the drain 1 of the second conductivity type transistor 13 .3d The PN junction between the substrate and the substrate becomes forward, so the starting voltage of the electrostatic breakdown protection circuit is equivalent to the so-called flat band voltage (flat band voltage) of the PN junction in the second conductive transistor I3 voltage) (hereinafter referred to as Vf). If the substrate is a silicon substrate, regardless of the concentration of impurities, if Vf is about 0_6V. Therefore, the electrostatic surge exceeds a certain point of Vf voltage, will produce a sudden The wave current flows from the drain electrode i3d of the second conductivity type transistor 13 and the substrate to the source electrode 13S. And at this time, because of Vf < BVsd, the surge current almost enters the second conductivity type transistor 13 Therefore, the non-regressive effect caused by the reverse direction electrostatic surge flowing to the first conductivity type transistor 11 is much slower than the conventional _. In addition, according to the display in FIG. 13, when the second conductivity type transistor is not provided I3, also known as NMOS transistor, as the protection transistor, the eleventh paper is used from the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 wire (210X297 mm) 0599twf.doc / Jessica / 002 A7 B7 Employee of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economy Printed by consumer cooperatives 7) The holding voltage of one conductive type transistor 11 is Vi, and the current is, in the present invention, the current equal to L flows through the second conductive type transistor 13, and the resulting drain voltage is expressed and maintained. The relationship between voltage and drain voltage is ν2 < ν ,. When equal current flows, the Joule ripening phenomenon (accumulation of drain voltage and current) occurs at one end of the second conductivity type transistor 13, The one end of the first conductivity type transistor 11 is larger, which means that it is assumed that the first conductivity type transistor 11 and the second conductivity type transistor have the same area and suffer damage caused by the same Joule heating. The two-conductivity-type transistor I3 can use a smaller area than the first-conductivity-type transistor 11 and has a higher impedance to resist the destruction of electrostatic surges. According to the above description, in the semiconductor device of this first embodiment, the MOS transistor of the opposite conductivity type to the output transistor is used as the protection transistor. Therefore, the protection transistor The operation starting voltage of crystal destruction is that, because the flat band voltage Vf is compared with the conventional operation starting voltage BVsd, Vf < BVsd. Therefore, for the electrostatic surge in the reverse direction, the protection transistor is better Early operation, the voltage that the drain in operation is subjected to is lower than the holding voltage of the conventional conductive transistor of the same conductivity type, therefore, the Joule heating phenomenon caused by the surge current is reduced, and a higher resistance is obtained To resist voltage collapse. Moreover, in the first embodiment, the conventional CMOS-IC manufacturing process can be used, without adding manufacturing steps, and only by changing the pattern design, the desired effect can be obtained.

Description of the invention (| (?) The effect of reducing the occupied area of the transistor can be verified in the following experimental results. The gate of the first conductivity type transistor π as the output transistor The electrode is kept at about 40 ^, and the gate electrode of the second conductivity type transistor 13 as the protective transistor is kept at about 80; ^. Implemented in the US military standard No. 3015.7 (Cent 11 ^ Ding 〇-3 015.7) has been standardized The standard of the electrostatic breakdown test is 1700V. At the same time, the conventional technology is used as a comparative example, which means that two PMOS transistors are used to form the output and protect the two transistors and the gates of the two transistors. The total length is about 300 mm, and the static breakdown test that has been standardized by MIL-STD-3015.7 is also implemented, and the measured breakdown voltage is only 1400V. From the above results, it can be seen that, according to the present invention, although the occupied area of the protection transistor is reduced But compared to the conventional In comparison, a higher resistance can be achieved. In addition, if the output transistor is an NMOS transistor and the protection transistor is a PMOS transistor, the circuit structure shown in Figure 2 can of course be adapted to the cost. In particular, the second conductivity type transistor 11, that is, the NMOS transistor becomes a protected transistor, and its drain lid is connected to the output terminal (output pad 15) of the semiconductor device for output. The source electrode 11s and the substrate are connected to the second power supply line Vss, and the gate electrode 11g is connected to a predetermined signal line (not shown). At the same time, the first conductivity type transistor I3, that is, the PMOS transistor, serves as a protection transistor , Its drain 13d is connected to the output pad 15, and its source 13s is connected to the second power supply line Vss, the gate 13g of the PMOS transistor 13 that is kept in the "off" state during normal operation and the N well are connected to the first 1.

Description of the invention (Π) Supply line VDD, where the first power supply line The potential of the vDD keeps the first conductivity type transistor 13 off during normal operation. 2. For the second embodiment, please refer to FIG. 1, which provides a description of the second embodiment of the present invention, which includes PMOS The crystal 11 is used as an output transistor and an NPN type double carrier transistor 17. It is used as a protection transistor or a switching element. The connection relationship between the PMOS transistor 11, the input pad I5 and other constituent elements, and The first embodiment is the same. At the same time, the NPN transistor 17 is used as a protection transistor, its emitter 17e is connected to the output pad 15, its collector 17c is connected to the first power supply line VDD, and its base 17b is connected to the second power supply line Vss. The potential of the power supply line Vss is a potential that keeps the NPN bipolar transistor 17 in the off state during normal operation. Therefore, the PMOS type transistor 11 and the NPN type double carrier transistor Π are provided between the output pad 15 and the first power supply line VDD, and are connected in parallel. In the semiconductor device of the second embodiment, if the output pad 15 is regarded as a negative pole 'and an electrostatic surge is applied thereto' because the electrostatic surge is between the emitter and base of the NPN transistor 17 The PN junction of the terminal flows in the forward direction, so when the electrostatic surge exceeds a certain point of Vf, a base current will flow between the emitter and base of the NPN transistor 17. Furthermore, after the base current flows, the NPN transistor 17 will be "on", and a collector current will be generated between the emitter 17e and the collector 17c.

Description of invention ( p) Because for general NPN transistors, the collector current is several to ten times greater than the base current, so in the end, the electrostatic surge almost becomes the collector current, that is, the source of the PMOS transistor 11 The pole 113 is absorbed. That is, the flat band voltage Vf is smaller than the operation start voltage BVsd, so almost all the surge current enters the NPN transistor 17, but does not flow into the PMOS transistor 11. According to the above description, in the semiconductor device of the second embodiment, the semiconductor layer of the opposite conductivity type to the output transistor constitutes a bipolar transistor with a current electrode and a collector as the protection transistor, so The operation starting voltage corresponding to the reverse electrostatic surge is Vf. Since the operation start voltage BVsd of the conventional technique is compared with Vf < BVsd, the protection transistor will act earlier than the output transistor for the applied reverse electrostatic surge. 'And the holding voltage during operation is lower than that of the conventional protection transistor of the same conductivity type. As a result, the Joule heating phenomenon caused by the electrostatic destruction caused by the surge current can be reduced and a higher impedance can be achieved to prevent voltage collapse. Moreover, in this second embodiment, the bipolar transistor is used to protect the circuit, so the gate electrode is not needed, and therefore, the gate potential is not required to be supplied, so the protection circuit can be further reduced compared to the first embodiment. The occupied area of the crystal. In addition, as shown in Figure 4, it is also feasible to use NMOS transistors as output transistors and PNP transistors as protection transistors. That is to say, the NMOS transistor 11 ′ that is the object of protection has its drain lid connected to the output pad I5 that is the output terminal of the semiconductor device, and its source 15 conforms to the Chinese standard rate (CNS) A4a grid (210X297) Mm) First of all, I ’m interested in the matter.

Here, the first power supply The potential of the line VDD is a potential that keeps the PNP bipolar transistor 17 in the off state during normal operation. 3.

In the description, the output transistor 11 and the second conductivity type switching element connected in parallel are provided with a resistance element 19 for the purpose of suppressing the shunt of the electrostatic surge current flowing to the output transistor 11. The drain 1 id of the output transistor Π is connected to the connection point P1 between the drain 13d of the protection transistor 13 and the output pad 15 with the resistive element 19 located therebetween. Adding a resistance element 19 'between the drain Hd of the protection transistor 13 and the drain lid of the output transistor will suppress the electrostatic surge applied by the output pad 15 and the amount of current flowing to the output transistor 11 will be protected The amount of current flowing into the transistor 13 will increase.

The detailed description is as follows. Therefore, please refer to FIGS. 7 (A) and (B). (A) is a partial plan view and (B) is a cross-sectional view taken along line I-I of (A). First, an N-type impurity diffusion region 33 is formed on the P-type silicon substrate 31 and used as an emitter. Then, a P-type impurity diffusion region 35 surrounded by the N-type impurity diffusion region 33 is formed and used as an ohmic contact (ohmic contact) contact), and an N-type impurity diffusion region 37 serving as a collector is formed around the region 35, and the number 39 in FIGS. 7 (A) and (B) is a field oxide. In the transistor 17, the collector-base junction interface is the inner boundary 37a of the NM heavy diffusion region 37, and the emitter-base junction interface is the inner boundary 33a of the N-type impurity diffusion region. Since the collector-base junction has a sufficiently wide junction area, the phenomenon of heat generation due to electrostatic surges is reduced as much as possible. The design of the collector junction area depends on the theoretical calculation or empirical value of the semiconductor device. In the fourth embodiment, metal is used for electrical connection in each impurity diffusion region, for example, an aluminum A1 conductive layer passes through contact holes for connection, and finally a bonding pad for external connection is used. Pull it out. In the PMOS transistor 11, for the negative and negative electrostatic surge, it is subjected to the PN junction between the emitter and base of the NPN transistor 17 and the cost is again applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 > < 297 mm> A7 0 5 99twf.doc / Jessica / 0 02 V. Description of invention (A) is protected in the forward direction, and its operating starting voltage for electrostatic surge is Vf. Similarly, in NPN In the transistor, when the electrostatic surge exceeds Vf, the base current will flow to the NPN transistor, and the collector current, which is several to several tens of times of the base current, will also flow. Please refer to Figure 8 for the display When the electrostatic surge voltage is Vx, the potential state pattern of each node of the NPN transistor 17 and the electrostatic surge Vx almost flow into the junction interface between the collector and the base. This means that when the collector current When circulating, the potential difference between the collector and the base is much larger than the potential difference between the emitter and the base, and it means that at the junction of the collector and the base, there is more Joule heating due to the accumulation of current and voltage. Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, considering the Joule heating phenomenon described above, and The collector-base junction area is increased, so the larger Joule heat generated at the collector-base junction can be diffused to the entire junction area, so that the average heat generation per unit area can be reduced, so a large impedance is obtained to suppress The destruction of electrostatic surges. Moreover, in the fourth embodiment, a circular double-carrier transistor is particularly used to protect the transistor to reduce its occupied area, and a semiconductor with a strengthened resistance to resist electrostatic collapse is manufactured as much as possible ”And this example illustrates the use of lateral dual carrier transistors as protective transistors, which considers the phenomenon of heat generation due to electrostatic surges in the collector junction area, and the use of longitudinal (longitudinal) double Carrier transistors can also be used as protective transistors. 5. Fifth embodiment: This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 public daughter) A7 0599twf. Doc / Jessica / 002 V. Description of the invention (丨) Next, please refer to Figure 9 (A), (B), which shows a schematic diagram of the fifth embodiment of the present invention, which uses the following two examples to illustrate the static breakdown The influence of the conductive metal of the semiconductor device. 5-1 Example In the example of the fifth embodiment, when a MOS transistor of the opposite conductivity type to the output transistor is used as the protection transistor, consider connecting to the output terminal of the semiconductor device The source-drain region at the other end (the side of the gate), which is connected to the wire metal distance, can reduce the diffusion phenomenon of the wire metal due to the Joule heating phenomenon of electrostatic surge current ° Figure 9 ( A) shows the same semiconductor device circuit country as in FIG. 1 and FIG. 9 (B) shows the NMOS transistor 13 as a protection transistor, which is actually arranged on the silicon substrate. In FIG. 9 (B), the source 13s represents the source-drain, which is connected to the other end of the output pad 15 of the semiconductor device, X represents the distance between the connection point 13x and the source 13s, and the VDD wire to the source -The distance on the side of the gate electrode 13g in the drain region must be considered not to be affected by the diffusion of the conductive metal caused by the heating phenomenon of the electrostatic surge current. Generally, in the design of semiconductor devices, the size of X depends on theoretical calculations or empirical values. Therefore, this distance X is greater than the distance y (between the connection point 13y and the drain 13d, and located on the side of the gate 13g from the Vss wire to the source-drain), the conductive metal adjacent to the contact hole will Due to the Joule heating phenomenon, it melts and then diffuses to the substrate. When the diffusion of the molten metal exceeds the PN junction interface, it will cause electrostatic collapse and damage. Please refer to the MOS transistor in Figure 9 (B), S and D stand for pN and 20 respectively. The paper size is applicable to China National Standards (CNS) A4 (210χ · 297mm) 312848 A7 Ο 5 99 twf. Doc / Jessie a / 002 _ 157 V. Description of invention (G) Joint interface, S is the source 13s interface adjacent to the gate, and D is the drain 13d interface adjacent to the other side of the gate. When the surge current flows between the source and the drain of the NMOS transistor 13, for the reason explained in FIG. 8, the heat generation of the junction interface between the source and the substrate is higher than that between the drain and the substrate. There are more. Therefore, the distance from the connection position 13x of the source electrode 13s to the wire metal to the gate electrode, that is, the distance X between the source-substrate junction interface is increased, so that the molten material is avoided from the heat source, so the metal wire When melting, before the molten metal diffuses beyond the junction interface, a large surge current must flow. Due to the above two factors, a higher resistance value can be obtained, and the ability to prevent electrostatic surge collapse is promoted. In the present embodiment (5-1), the MOS transistor used as the protection transistor can reduce the increase in the area occupied by the protection transistor, and produce a semiconductor device excellent in antistatic destruction effect. 5-2 Example: Please refer to FIGS. 10 (A) and (B), which shows a second example of the fifth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 (A) is a plan view of the above-mentioned lateral NPN transistor. (B) is an enlarged view of part Q of Fig. 10 (a). When using a double carrier transistor as a protective transistor, the distance between the connection position of the collector and the connected metal wire to the junction surface of the collector must hardly be diffused by the metal wire that is heated by the static surge current Affect the required distance from the young. Please refer to Figure 10 (B), the distance is from the connection point between the N-type impurity diffusion region 3 7 as the collector and the metal wire (not shown) 3 7x _ 21 "CNS) A4 specification (2Η) x 297 mm) A7 059 9twf.doc / Jessica / 002 5. Description of the invention (f?) To the collector junction 37a, it must be considered that it is hardly heated by the static surge current The distance affected by the diffusion of the metal wire. Similarly, the distance depends on the theoretical calculation or empirical value of the semiconductor device design. And this distance L / distance L2 from the connection point 33x between the emitter N-type impurity diffusion region 33 and the metal wire (not shown) to the emitter junction 33a is also large. The wire metal adjacent to the connection point will be heated and melted by Joule heating, and then diffuse to the substrate. Then when the molten metal passes through the interface of the junction, electrostatic collapse will occur, causing irreversible failure, that is, damage. Furthermore, taking the two-carrier transistor as a protective transistor in Fig. 8 as an example, the heat generated by the surge current at the collector-base junction interface is more than the emitter-base junction interface. Therefore, the distance between the contact hole adjacent to the collector and the collector-base junction interface is increased to separate the meltable substance from the heat-generating place, so when the metal wire is melted, the molten metal diffuses beyond the junction Before the interface, a larger surge current must flow, and due to the above two factors, a higher resistance value can be obtained, and the ability to prevent electrostatic surge collapse is promoted.
